This morning I woke up with terrible anxiety. I don't know why, it was just there resonating deep in the pit of my stomach and I had that restless leg syndrome thing going on to. I eventually just got up and got ready to go to Phoenix for my nephew's 8th Birthday Party, which was at Peter Piper Pizza.

Generally I don't like Peter Piper Pizza but I must have been so hungry (to the point of starvation?) that it was quite delicious. So delicious that after two pieces I was eying(eyeing? either way it doesn't look right to me.) a third! I didn't have that third but I'm still thinking about it. And then there was cake (well I love cake in general) but it was a Spongebob cake with blue and yellow icing...thick blue and yellow icing. Despite this sounding unappetizing it was pretty good. I didn't have two pieces that though... but my dad did.

I only visited the rest of Peter Piper Pizza briefly, basically I played a car racing game and the Jack Pot Machine Game. I use to be really good at the jackpot game but apparently I've lost my touch. I gave my measily pile of tickets to Alyssa who I helped pick out prizes...and she promptly decided she didn't want them except possibly the rubber snake...and maybe the Skittles.

Possibly the most exciting thing that happened today is the "book loot" I collected from Dani, my sister-in-law as well as a purse that she has had that I have been eyeing for like years! She gave me the following books and I must prephase this with "I am in YA Fiction Heaven".

1. The Summoning - Kelly Armstrong
2. Hunted (A House of Night Series book) - P.C. Cast + Kristin Cast
3. Wake - Lisa McMann
4. Vampire Academy - Richelle Mead
5. Frostbite (vampire academy book 2) - Richelle Mead
6. Shadow Kiss (vampire academy book 3) - Richelle Mead
7. Evermore - Alyson Noel

I will probably read Wake first despite what I've heard about it. I'm curious to find out about it myself.  So basically this Summer I'm going to read...a lot. I can't wait!

After the party I drove home with my mom, who had met us there since she had been up there visiting a friend for the past couple of days. And I basically told her about how my weekend and how my exam went, the B that I earned in Summer School because I was to lazy to earn the A. Like literally Thursday night I hit this brick wall and I was just unwilling to learn any more. I couldn't take it anymore!

I'm so ready for this break.

I have a hand written journal that I use for my really private thoughts. I have found that I haven't needed it lately because I have found people in my life that I feel comfortable telling things to. I have found that I can work it out with them rather then try to deal with it myself, which was my main reason for it. I will still keep it because there will always be something but not always constant that I will need it for.

My depression is still there and come Monday morning I always wake up with terrible anxiety but I have friends and family to help me through this. Really good people that I know I can count on. I was told something on Friday that actually really bothered me. Normally I would have gotten out my journal but instead I went and talked to two people about it, just to get it out. I'm not going to write about it because I realize I shouldn't worry about it. My mom said "Often the things you worry about the most never happen and the things you never expected to happen do," I liked this because I think sometimes it is true and I want to apply it to what was bothering me over the weekend.

My brother, Bill, Dani and the two youngest kids came down to visit this weekend. It was one of those weekends that I felt was so nice that I wanted to take it, put it in a box and wrap it. Then give it to someone else so that they could enjoy a weekend like that just as much as I did.

Dani took my scrapbook home and said that she would work on it for me with her marvelous scrapbooking skills. Alyssa woke up in the middle of the night crying for her mom so I went in to see if I could calm her down and she stopped crying immediately and asked me to stay with her. We watched Mary Poppins on DVD and Dani and I went shopping all Sunday morning. I bought clothes and she bought a lot of scrapbooking stuff in the scrapbook store. We had pizza saturday night and Zack met them for the first time. It was just a generally nice weekend.

It was the kind of weekend I'd like to remember forever.
